Please let me know if you need any more input on this matter :-)
PS: To give a little bit of background context, we encountered this issue
while trying to set up a HA subversion cluster (svnserve) using Windows
Failover Clustering features behind a nginx reverse proxy load balancer.
The recommended and performant way to share storage between cluster nodes
is to use a CSV volume. Shared storage may of course be implemented, albeit
less performant, by using simple file shares. Please don't ask why we are
using the Windows platform in the first place ;-)
Have a nice day.
